What Seest Thou? Poem by Harley White

What Seest Thou?

Rating: 5.0

What seest thou, T Tauri star
from time's abysm where you are?
What seest thou from outer space
of our unvalued place of grace,
so seeming near and yet so far?

Your backward dark may look bizarre
remote from tinctures of Renoir,
in stellar fluctuant embrace
what seest thou?

Perhaps you'll grow like Sun's memoir
before you bid your au revoir;
meantime, ‘midst marvels we would chase,
your triple system's special case
might furnish facts that raise the bar,
what seest thou?
